Recommendations needed: Masculine office scents

1. fresh (but not overly)
2. has a good masculine aura (nothing feminine...)
3. good longevity
4. maybe unique (optional, doesn't have to be a niche scent, though)

What I use is Baldessarini Eau de Cologne Concentrée and the Creeds GIT, Erolfa and MI, L'Instant de Guerlain, and M7 Fresh.

I need a couple of more to rotate as it's getting boring.

The first one that came to my mind that I had sampled a long time ago was Kouros Cologne Sport... But when I read the reviews I was thinking, &quot;well, maybe a bit too quirky for the people around me...&quot;.

Re: Recommendations needed: Masculine office scent

Actually, I have Creed Tabarome, but now, after having worn it for about 5 times it makes me sick... SADLY!!! I really like the smell, it's a beautiful and masculine scent of superbquality, but there's something in it that makes me sick after some time. So, I eventually gave this one to my father and he adores it!

Reading a few reviews a was thinkin about something like Kiton for men, YSL Jazz and Aramis Tuscany... Any thoughts on these, guys?!?

Re: Recommendations needed: Masculine office scent

By the way, I was going to recommend the Aramis Tuscany, but since I find it somewhat similar in makeup to Chanel's Pour Monsieur Concentree, I decided against it.
You can generally find the Pour Monsieur Concentree at about half the price of the Tuscany, and I think it's got a lot more 'zest' to it as well.

Re: Recommendations needed: Masculine office scent

I'm wearing Tuscany today (for the first time) and I can't imagine a better scent for the office. *Spicy, dry, and masculine to the edge. *Not overpowering on the sillage, but definitely present.

The other choice I would put forward is Van Cleef by Van Cleef and Arpels

BTW - Used Chanel Pour Monsieur the other day and in my opinion, it was nothing like Tuscany - sweet and with vanilla on the drydown, which was brief at best. Perhaps the Concentree version is different. The CPM was very short in any event - about ONE HOUR at most on me.

Re: Recommendations needed: Masculine office scent

and since you don't seem to mind spending a little money on your office scents I have to mention Vetiver Extraordinaire. VE is:

1. fresh - but not too fresh
2. masculine - there is nothing feminine about vetiver
3. longevity - ludicrous. It doesn't matter how long your work day is, this stuff will out last it.
4. unique - what do you think the EXTRAORDINAIRE means?

Re: Recommendations needed: Masculine office scent

I like some of the suggestions already given: Live Jazz, Guerlain Vetiver, Paco Rabanne XS, and Rive Gauche would all be good. Personally, I like Dunhill Edition and Tabarome Millesime for the office. I even wear Bois du Portugal and Vintage Tabarome, when I want to smell like I know what I'm doing. I just got a sample of Conquest by Agatha Brown that I'm sure will be very nice for the office, as well.

Re: Recommendations needed: Masculine office scent

You've gotten a lot of great suggestions so far, but I'd like to add Aramis Life, Issey Miyake, Givenchy PH and ANY of the Bvlgaris. I also like all the Laliques too especially Equus. If you want niche, try the L'Artisan's like Merchant Loup, Passage D'Enfer and Navegar.

Re: Recommendations needed: Masculine office scent

You've already received some great suggestions, especially Chanel PM, Guerlain Vetiver, and Le 3me Homme, and Herrera for Men. To these and all the other excellent suggestions, and thinking explicitly of your criteria, I would add:

Re: Recommendations needed: Masculine office scent

Can everyone post what kind of office environment they work in, as well as the scents they prefer? *

For example, what is apprpriate for a law office might not fit well for a IT (computer) shop with cubicles. *I work with other software developers and 99% of these guys don't wear any fragrance. *(We suspect about 2% may not have a regular shower schedule). *So I'm more comfortable with light to moderate amounts of fresh clean scents. *I don't want to broadcast a lot of sillage, but I want the ladies to notice if we're conversing in the same cube space. * *
